Spring Break Part 2: Fun around town

The day after my parents left, this is what I saw a lot of at my house. Today and technology with our kids - it's really great and sad all at the same time.
That's when I decided we needed to do some things around town. So, on we go for our week of adventures. S was home one day for a doctors appt so we took the opportunity to go out for some frozen yogurt.
The next day, I decided to take the boys bowling. Now it's a big feat to take these boys anywhere by myself much less bowling at nap/rest time! But, they did great and had so much fun! AND so did I!
C showing off his muscles. This boy is a brute!
W and his bowling moves. Thank goodness for bumpers!
Ok, here's where it gets funny. This is how T bowled every single time. Think he had fun??

Here's our final score. I'm really a better bowler than this. BUT, in my defense I was making sure 3 boys stayed in place and didn't break anything while I tried to bowl and not hit them with the bowling ball when I swung. It's quite difficult - you try it.
After our bowling day, the next day we did a local farm called Frying Pan Park. I've been wanting to go here but really hadn't had the chance. What a great place! It's a farm that's open to the public to view all kinds of farm animals for FREE! They have picnic areas, playgrounds, carousel and wagon rides. Quite the place. Made us feel like we were back in Pesselville (ok just a little)
We saw all kinds of baby animals. Here's the baby pigs.
Baby chicks....
Sheep and cows were a hit with C
Notice there are no pics of T with animals. He wouldn't go near the fence! I can't get over this boy's fear of animals. Just a phase????

Finally, a picnic to top off the visit. It's was a little cool this day and not the best picnic weather but we still had fun.
Among all this fun, I was able to finish the class project for Tyler's school auction. I found this idea online randomly and decided it would make a great project. Each fish is a child's handprint from his class. I think it turned out so fun!
The week was fun and it was great to be a little lazier and see all the boys playing together. However it made me realize how much I need to prepare for summer. We are going to need some serious structure or I'll go crazy! Looks like another mini-homeschool summer for us again this year! :)
